What driver are you using in the XFree86 config? Are you using XFree 4.x or 3.x? If you're using the 'fbdev' driver with XFree 4.x, or the XF68_FBDev driver, then you may have to start the system with the appropriate options passed to the kernel so the frame buffer starts in 15bpp. Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School | #linuxOS on EFnet [EMAIL PROTECTED] | District (dsdk12.net) | #linuxOS on OPN
